  6. G'day Wendywings: Glad you found me - I only end up at the web sites of American Conspiracy Theorists when I use BlogExplosion! Shhhh, they could be listening...

    Hi Mai! Patois is best spoken when drunk! An example for ya: "Ello, mi can help yuh wid someting?" is easy after a vodka or two. Check out http://www.ddg.com/LIS/InfoDesignF97/malyce/phrases.htm
